Boosting lower body strength doesn't need to be complicated - 7 glute-focused Pilates workouts to do from home that *really* work

We often talk about Pilates as being beneficial for a powerhouse core (which is most certainly is) but did you know? Consistently practicing Pilates is also one of the best ways to improve your glute strength, too. Enter: the best Pilates glute workouts to do from home. Many classic Pilates moves target and isolate the glute muscles - think leg lifts, side-lying leg circles and pelvic curls - making it a great low-impact way to strengthen these large muscles. And while the appeal of a toned posterior is undeniable, there are legitimate real-life benefits to having strong glutes. From better posture to supporting the knee joint, running faster and more, adding some glute moves to your Pilates rotation offers way more than a peachy bum.

"Pilates is exceptional for targeting and isolating the glute muscles independently," shares instructor Sam Deville. "You’ll feel the burn fast, but with consistent work, you’ll gain strength and stability quickly."
